双语早读｜一切皆有可能：为马定制的流行运动鞋将上市

你可能想象不到，有一天马儿也能穿上又潮又酷的流行运动鞋。专门为马定制跑鞋的Horse Kicks公司将推出灵感来自耐克、阿迪达斯和新百伦等品牌的马用跑鞋，起步价高达1200美元。

Horse Kicks这家公司可谓是“名副其实”，专门为马打造跑鞋。该公司的新款跑鞋灵感源自耐克乔丹鞋或阿迪椰子鞋等流行品牌，每双售价至少1200美元（约合人民币8696元）。

Horse Kicks are just what they sound like – sneakers for horses. Created from popular human models like Air Jordan or Yeezy Boost, each pair sells for at least $1,200.

除了极少数的特例外，数百年来马的鞋子基本没什么变化（一直都是马蹄铁），不过这种情况即将发生改变，这得归功于跑鞋定制专家马库斯·弗洛伊德。运用解构和重构思维方式，弗洛伊德为马儿打造了数款跑鞋，这些跑鞋保留了耐克乔丹鞋、阿迪椰子鞋或新百伦650鞋特有的一些元素。与此同时，由于这些鞋都是给马穿的，所以能够适应马蹄独特的构造。

With some very few notable exceptions, horseshoes have remained virtually unchanged for hundreds of years, but that is about to change thanks to sneaker customizing expert Marcus Floyd. Using deconstruction and reconstruction, Floyd has created several pairs of equine sneakers that retain the elements that usually make brands like Air Jordan, Yeezy, or NewBalance650 stand out. At the same time, these are essentially horseshoes, so they also meet the unique ergonomics of horse hooves.

为了推出Horse Kicks这个新品牌，马库斯·弗洛伊德为2022年秋季设计了若干预制款，包括灵感来自耐克乔丹一代“庭紫”系列、阿迪椰子350V2黑蓝系列和新百伦650 Aimé Leon Dore x联名款等流行样式的马用跑鞋。

For the launch of his new business, Horse Kicks, Marcus Floyd has created several pre-made styles for the Fall 2022 season, including horse sneakers inspired by popular models like the Air Jordan 1 High “Court Purple”, Adidas YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 “Dazzling Blue”, or Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 650.

从10月24日起，Horse Kicks将开始在其官网上接单定制马用跑鞋，起步价高达1200美元。如果你想在购买前先和跑鞋亲密接触一下，马库斯·弗洛伊德在11月4日至5日肯塔基州举行的2022育马者杯世界锦标赛上有一个展位。

Starting on October 24, custom Horse Kicks will be available for order via the company’s website, with prices starting at an eye-watering $1,200. But if you’re the kind of person who likes to get up close and personal with sneakers before buying them, Marcus Floyd will have a booth at this year’s Breeders’ Cup World Championships in Kentucky, on November 4 and 5.

过去你看惯了人们在跑鞋店外排队购买最新收藏款，而今恐怕马儿们也要大排长龙了。

You’re used to seeing people lined up outside sneaker shops for the newest collectible creations, now get ready to see equine sneakerheads do the same thing.
